Yakitori Jinbei – Smyrna, GA
A recent article on Yelp was talking about the best ramen places in Atlanta and Yakitori Jinbei, in Smyrna, made the list. Who knew that they have ramen in Smyrna? My beloved wife was thrilled that they brought us some kimchi cucumber to start. She finished her bowl and started on mine. As I tend […]
Woo Nam Jeong Stone Bowl House
Woo Nam Jeong Stone Bowl House is another place that had been on my radar for a decade, but one that I never seemed to make it to. Not being the biggest fan of Korean food, these restaurants tend to get pushed aside for something else, when I am in the area. It is in […]
Xin’s Chinese Cuisine – Duluth, GA
Another day roaming alone for lunch, another new place. Today, I was actually heading to Masterpiece, as I hadn’t been in almost two weeks, when I noticed another Chinese restaurant in the same strip mall. Walking down to Xin’s Chinese Cuisine, they had carry out menus by the outside door, so I grabbed one and […]
Ah Ma Taiwanese Kitchen – Atlanta, Ga
We were dining several months back and asked our waiter where he liked to eat when he wasn’t working. One of his answers surprised me – Ah Ma’s Taiwanese Kitchen, in Midtown. I wrote down the name (and hid it in my heart). I had seen it before, but it had never really registered. […]
Pho Dai Loi 2 – Atlanta, GA
Pho Dai Loi 2 is another place that has been on “the list” for almost ten years. Pho Dai Loi (implied 1) is in Jonesboro and there is a Pho Dai Loi 3 in Duluth, but I can’t find anything only that declares an affiliation. But number “2” is the one that I’ve been supposed […]
Gu’s Dumplings – Atlanta, GA
Quite a while back (two years, apparently, as I looked for the link), we had a great dinner at Gu’s Bistro and I recommended it to several folks. Then I heard they closed. Then, several months later, I read that they were opening a dumpling stall in Krog Street Market. As I said, […]
Jia – Atlanta, GA
From Dahe Yang and chef Jiguo Jiang of Tasty China Jia opened in Ponce City Market last September. Along with Gu’s Dumplings (which has a much smaller menu – Jia’s refers to its own as a one hundred item menu), these may be the first Szechuan restaurants downtown. In one of the articles […]
The One Izakaya – Duluth, GA (Photo Blog Post)
As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the details of the meal, I’m now posting this restaurant as a photo blog.
Craft Izakaya – Atlanta, GA
On a beautiful Saturday evening, as we were heading back toward home, I tossed out a couple of options for dinner of places that I wanted to try. The answer was “whichever one is open now”. At a little before five, from the three choices I gave, the intersection was zero. But Craft Izakaya did […]
Talay Thai Cuisine – Duluth, GA
Talay Thai Cuisine has become part of our regular lunch time rotation. Located in a strip mall, at the corner of Satellite Boulevard and Old Peachtree Road, they’re in a location that is about to get a BP next door. That will make an already challenging parking situation even more complicated. One of the guys […]
